Happy Critter Saturday

As 2022 comes to a close very soon, we're honoring a few critters within our worlds. 


"Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks."

Samuel Johnson

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS





and I'm also posting to City Daily Photo




"Life is like a mirror

Smile at it and it smiles

Back At You."

Peace Pilgrim 





"Life does not have to be perfect 

to be wonderful."

 Annette Funicello






Hurry come quick! Santa is trying to escape!






Unplug, go outside and see what you can notice, there's a gigantic world around us waiting to be discovered. 


"Life is a paradise for those who love many things with a passion."
Leo Buscaglia

"If you realize how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought."

Peace Pilgrim




On guard!


Have you ever stopped and wondered just what thoughts your dog might be thinking?


"This is a wonderful day I've never seen this one before."

Maya Angelou 





My daughter sent this photo of her kitty Sparkle, who appears quite content, or rather Queen of Everything, please don't bother me now!


"Appreciate everyone and everything in your life."
Wayne Dyer 




If you're always trying to be normal, you'll never know how amazing you can be."
Maya Angelou


"Having fun is simply holding on to the joy of each day."
Judith Harlan








So, these next two photos occurred by accident as I was experimenting with my hubby's new and powerful cell phone. My daughter decided to send me one from her phone with her pups. Adorable right?!





And this is my Peacock which was my first attempt at highlighting what I wanted from the photo and eliminating the rest.




It appears after a rain/snow mix and eventually turning to all snow and now the deep, very deep freeze that winter is here to stay for a good long while.


Thank you for your visit

Take good care of you and don't stress too much this holiday season.

Hello Karen,
Wonderful critter post. I love all your dogs, the grand-dogs and the sweet Sparkle. They all have the sweetest face expressions. Santa can't escape, not now. How does you Peacock survive the deep freeze, it's so cold. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy new week! PS, thanks for the comment.
